The Lore
The cats never change. The reality around them does.
2022
In 2022, 28 weird cats were drawn. Then everything went quiet.
The portal
The cats did not disappear. They found a portal, and 25 of them came through. Every time it opens, the same cats step into a new reality and come out looking different. Same cats, different reality.
The realities so far
| Reality | How the cats look there | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Pixel | Their home form. The city where all 25 live. | The District |
| Desktop (Codex Pets) | Small companions in Codex, OpenAI's coding app, that watch you work. | Codex Pets |
| Felt (Plush Pets) | Soft, stitched and alive. Animated pets for Codex and ChatGPT Dots. | Plush Pets |
| GIF | Loose in the GIF search, replying to strangers. | GIPHY and X |
The glitch
The rainbow glitch you see on everything Weird Cats is the seam between realities. Where it flickers, a cat just crossed.
The crossing
So far the cats only visit. Genesis is different: 2,022 cats cross for good, onto Robinhood Chain, and each one ends up with somebody. That is the one reality where a Weird Cat is yours.
What comes next
The portal keeps opening. Not everything on the other side likes weird things. Stay weird.
